Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sizing of paper and more specifically to substantially water-free compositions and aqueous compositions of cellulose-reactive sizing agents, their preparation and use.
  • Cellulose-reactive sizing agents such as those based on alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) and alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), are widely used in papermaking at neutral or slightly alkaline stock pH's in order to give paper and paper board some degree of resistance to wetting and penetration by aqueous liquids.
  • Paper sizes based on cellulose-reactive sizing agents are generally provided in the form of dispersions containing an aqueous phase and finely divided particles or droplets of the sizing agent dispersed therein.
  • the dispersions are usually prepared with the aid of dispersing agents consisting of an anionic compound, e.g.
  • sodium lignosulfonate preferably in combination with a high molecular weight amphoteric or cationic polymer, e.g. cationic starch, polyamine, polyamideamine or a vinyl addition polymer.
  • a high molecular weight amphoteric or cationic polymer e.g. cationic starch, polyamine, polyamideamine or a vinyl addition polymer.
  • dispersions of these types usually exhibit rather poor stability and high viscosity, even at relatively low solids contents, which evidently lead to difficulties in handling the dispersions, for example on storage and in use.
  • a further drawback is that the products have to be supplied as low concentration dispersions which further increases the costs of transportation of the active sizing agent as well as the cost for storage due to the large volume occupied by the aqueous content of common dispersions.
  • US 5176748 refers to a sizing composition containing ASA, a cationic soluble dispersing agent and optionally a non-ionic surfactant.
  • the cationic dispersing agents used are high molecular cationic dispersing agent such as diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (Polydadmac) having molecular weights of around 50,000.
  • EP 220941 A1 relates to a solid composition comprising ketene dimers, an encapsulating agent such as polyethers and a cationic polymer such as polyamines.
  • US 4743303 discloses aqueous dispersions of rosin and synthetic sizing agents comprising non-ionic surface active agents and cationic dispersing agents.
  • EP 707110 A1 relates to an alkenylsuccinic emulsion sizing agent comprising an emulsifier and/or an anionic high-molecular weight stabiliser.
  • compositions Before usage of the compositions they are emulsified in the presence of an aqueous phase. In order to reduce the particle size shear forces are required.
  • One advantage of the present invention is therefore to improve emulsification/dispersing properties.
  • Yet another advantage of the present invention is to achieve good and/or improved sizing while using a substantially water-free sizing composition which disperses easy/fast in an aqueous phase.
  • the problem of stability relating to the usual sizing dispersions is circumvented by providing a sizing composition which is essentially water-free. Further objects will appear hereinafter.
  • the invention relates to an essentially water-free composition of a cellulose-reactive sizing agent comprising a non-ionic compound and a cationic compound with a molecular weight of up to 10,000 which are effective as dispersing agents.
  • the size compositions of this invention are easily homogenised thus minimising the use of shear forces.
  • the present invention relates to an aqueous composition of a cellulose-reactive sizing agent and their preparation and use, as further defined in the claims.
  • the present composition makes it possible to reduce transportation costs by virtually excluding the amount of water usually present in dispersion.
  • the present invention thus offers substantial economic and technical benefits.
  • aqueous composition is also meant an aqueous dispersion of a cellulose reactive sizing agent. Accordingly, an aqueous dispersion or an aqueous composition is obtained by emulsification or homogenisation of the substantially water-free composition of a sizing agent.
  • the cellulose-reactive sizing agent according to the invention can be selected from any of the cellulose-reactive sizing agents known in the art.
  • the sizing agent is selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic ketene dimers, ketene multimers, acid anhydrides, organic isocyanates, carbamoyl chlorides and mixtures thereof, preferably ketene dimers and acid anhydrides, most preferably ketene dimers.

After the addition a mixer, Ultra Turrax with a speed of 15000 rpm, was used for the homogenisation/emuisification. Mixing times were varied between 5 to 180 seconds. The particle size was measured by a Malvern Mastersizer.
  • Particle size is in microns for 50% volume.
  • Table 1 demonstrates that by adding a non-ionic surfactant to the aqueous phase or to the AKD pellets, a reduction in the particle size is achieved much faster thus reducing the needed time and energy for forming a dispersion. For E a fast decrease in particle size was achieved, however, the particles were never smaller than 3,3 microns which is not acceptable.
